The Fly, The Blob, and The Thing are three of the greatest examples of monster movie remakes in my opinion.

Cancelled all my streaming subscriptions a while back. Lost count how many times I browsed Netflix, Disney, Apple, whatever... and couldn't find anything I wanted to watch. Funny thing happened - I've pretty much lost interest in most new movies and TV shows. Just going back and filling in gaps. Also reading heaps more and getting more work done on my own stuff...

This is so true!! I am constantly freezing when I have time to relax, surrounded by thousands of options. Thanks for the tips and great content.

The paradox of choice is a very real thing

This might sound silly, but I would love it if they re-purposed some of these old abandon malls into generation X memory care facilities With an orange Julius and a Mrs. fields cookies

I had the red Sucker Man. It'd get it stuck on the skylight for days.

Planning a night to watch a one time over the air late night run of a Godzilla movie hit way different than everything now at our fingertips.

Got my first one in a box of pops

Lol, when I saw the bookshelf at first I didn't realize it was stock footage and I saw SALO on the shelf and thought holy cow you have a wide, wide range of tastes going on. 😅

Hot take. I never really liked the x-files.

According to people at Playmates, Skeleton Warriors was mainly produced and marketed towards us Hispanic folks. I'd imagine because of celebrations like Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) and an acceptance of darker topics within our communities. I bought them when they came out and was disappointed that the line was cancelled.

I remember when new episodes of my favorite cartoons would only aire on Saturday mornings. Those were some of the most special moments of my life, I haven’t felt that type of excitement in a long time.

It was easy as a kid to maintain your entertainment choices. I sticked with what I loved (Nickelodeon, cartoons, video games, going to Blockbuster to pick out a favorite movie, watching certain sitcoms alone or with family), and not all this overload of streaming movies and TV shows to binge watch

When I have a free time to watch a movie or play a game, I end up choosing the latter because I am a gamer. But back in my days I was also a film buff

This entertainment overload you speak of happens to me with streaming Netflix because of so many movies and shows that I want to watch but I can't pick one in the moment. There are nostalgic movies on Netflix that I want to watch again, but the reason behind that I don't really watch them is because I miss the days of physical media. I want to go back to the time of DVDs or even back to VHS cassettes. Streaming service is just not the same

Decision paralysis is a good word for it. I know exactly what you mean by the explanation. Thank You to everyone for another nostalgic episode!🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇲

Thanks for a great, nostalgic episode as usual! This channel is great!🤘🏻👍🏻🇺🇲

Great show Jon. I think the availability of media has (unfortunately) permanently changed how we relate to the basic choices we have. We just don't attach the significance we used to. It's like the currency has been devalued. Maybe there is a way to get the magic back. I'm going to try your movie night idea, that seems like a winner.

Yes. You spend so much time figuring out WHAT you want to do that you use up all the time you had to actually DO it.

Spot on analysis!

We all got ADHD when it comes to our hobbies/interests😂 I love the chaos

I liked Gravity Falls because it's schedule at times random, not to mention there were A LOT of fan theories about the show. That is why I like and appreciate TV shows that air one or two new episodes a week, it's something to look forward to and also talk about with friends.

What I've noticed about myself is how tired I get when I do go out to different brick and mortar stores, the movies, the mall, and restaurants. We love to get out and do stuff, but I'm ready to come back home so I can stream and watch UA-cam. We enjoy eating in, amazon, Ebay, books I already have. I'm 54, and that shouldn't be an excuse, but man, I am wiped out just the few hours we do go out. Especially if we go to Thrift stores, antique malls, record stores, etc...

just found your channel this is so cool you are doing an amazing job!! Ive also been feeling that "itch" and I plan on making my room a safe haven NO INTERNET ALLOWED!! Just VHS tapes, Cassettes and fun with my friends!

Truer words have never been spoken! I have been dealing with this issue for a little while now and had come to the same conclusion. I thought it was just me!

"When I was a boy, we didn't have these vee-dee-oh games. We made up our own games, like chew the bark off the tree! That was the way it was and we liked it!"

Kind of like doomscrolling...

There's another factor I never hear mentioned: slavery & obedience to time. We were all submissive & subservient to programming schedules & release dates. And most of it was effervescent as well i.e. if you missed it, you missed it. And then you were stuck waiting for a rerun, a port, a different format. It's not just that we had fewer choices, but we had fewer options of when & where to view/play it. It's not that you wanted to watch it, you HAD to watch it then & there because that might have been your only chance. And a second chance might take so long to come around that you'll have completely forgotten about it by then. So you planned around it. You scheduled around it. Your whole day or week around this one event. Somewhere to be at a specific point in time. Because there was almost something magical about it. To be there, then. A moment not under your control. Something that will happen with or without your observation. Because time waits for no one. And I think this has actually changed us as a culture as well. We've created an environment inundated in immediacy & accessibility and it's diminished our capacity to submit to something beyond ourselves, beyond a lizard brain wanting a quick hit. Time has become one less master that we serve, but the freedom has in turn created a feral state for our minds to run loose in and does not want to be wrangled.

Its understandable. So many choices that I become stuck in just picking what to choose. At least there few things once I start. If its good I finish it. But then there books I started and put away. 2 last month I completed. though I started one about year ago lol. Strange to me. That book I feels like I started few days go...

My entertainment is watching retro daze

Spot on RetroDaze Gang!! Thanks for another fun video that also makes you think Have a great weekend Jon and team 👊🏻😎🕹️

Lately I've been testing a time machine method, I pick a year and month and limit myself to whatever came out that month with music and movies and shows and everything else. I've also been using something in the past couple weeks I'm really digging if I have multiple options that are similar where I put them in tournament brackets like they are sports teams going head to head and see which one makes it to the end, and that's my choice. Also, I've been getting into old CDs lately. I pick random ones up from the thrift store and pop it in my car CD player and lock in to that whole album without skipping tracks as if it was a fresh new album I really wanted to experience the entirety of. Today we can flip too easily between things, which can be cool. But sometimes you have to rachet your focus down to really savor the experience of a thing.

Great Video! You are so right my friend, today we have way to many choices! I’m an 80’s kid and it was always a special treat to go to the video store and rent a movie and get some movie candy from the video store! I always really enjoyed being outside and riding my bike or skateboard, enjoying the simple things!

This is the microwave era where quantity over quality is the norm and It's mostly about getting the bag instead of taking pride in the art you create.

Can you do a video about Rawhead Rex?

I had all of these. Lol

0:40 What's this from?

Battle Beats are forgotten?! Huh, I didn't realize that. I have referenced then with my coworkers from time to time, and they knew what I was taking about.

Army Gear seems like a precursor to War Planets.

The Stompers segment reminded me of "The Animal" monster truck which had monster arms that extended from the tires! I'd totally forgotten all about that.

I would have totally watched the Sky Commanders TV series if I'd known it existed!

A funny thing about me was I rarely got toys, but I frequently consumed the expanded universes if comics and animated series. I read the Starriors conic (I still have the whole series) and loved the Captain Power TV show! Though am I misremembering the series ending an issue early? Either way, now you have me wondering about these Starrior mini comics that I've never read!

I remember ads for pretty much all of these, but didn't have any of them. My toy collection was predominantly Star Wars until the mid-80s, and predominantly Transformers afterwards (and to this day).

I remember Grey-Gore. I had one and my mother hated it. I am 48 now and that was a mind trip to the past. Thanks!!!!

Wheeled Warriors

For monsters I would say Meg Mucklebones from the movie, Legend. Actually, Darkness and Blix could go in, as well. Such amazing makeup work.

I don't play Christmas music, watch nostalgic Christmas commercials, or put up my Christmas tree until Thanksgiving nights when me and my son's watch home alone like that used to are every Thanksgiving night. the Christmas season does not start until Santa crosses herald square. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday
